Just bought a AMD Athlon X2 4200+, motherboard and 2GB ram, burnt RM365.........

Planning to sell my p4 proc and RAM to a friend, since he was using intel celeron 1.7GHz and complaint the system slow responses few months ago. Haha.

rm365 for proc, mobo and ram, not bad at all
second hand?

rm365 for those stuffs seems sweet. mind to share your mobo model??

im finally retiring my old yet faithful p4 630...will start to setup my new rig tmr nite after church praise-worship/party..

any1 go advise wad to do wit it b4 i change rig? i feel like wanna oc to 4.5GHz =X but still cant afford to damage it coz if new proc rosak i die T_T..and dis old rig will be kept and will be sold to my cousin once he get his $$

@ooiwbng
Nothing much u can do la bro.. Maybe pampered ur rigs before u sell it? Kasih cium cium & hug hug before sell lo. Hahah.. Anyways, frankly speaking, it is quite hard for P4 to break 4Ghz on air. Unless ur extremely lucky got a super proc, otherwise.. Prepare DICE to hot ur 4.5Ghz record.

No lar, all are new units.

Motherboard I use ECS 7050M-M, came with Geforce 7050PV/nForce 630a chipsets, those are old model chipsets, am I right? But I think it'll serves me well.

Too bad, after install all the hardwares my XP on the same HDD won't boot. It'll keep on restarting even I've choose safe mode. Why ar? I tot the XP is supposed to automatic detect and update the hardware drivers? So I format and install vista on it. Overall I'm quite satisfied with the things.....

@voscar
Hahah.. XP not that smart la bro. Somemore ur hopping from intel chipset to AMD chipset. For sure a fresh installation is highly recommended. Btw, By days & day going.. More and more ppl leaving P4.

Actually the P4 era is way too long if compared to P3. Till nowadays still got CC using P4 computers, and you still can see many company, school, colleges using P4. As long as Microsoft and other software company continue giving extension supporting for windows XP, I think most light-usage P4 users won't upgrade so soon.

But I was forced to leave P4 since my motherboard was spoiled (use this reason for upgrading mar), actually I only enjoyed using P4 for 4 months since "upgrade" from old celeron 2GHz... Hehe.

Yea.. Agreed. P4 still run very well in light processing task. Atleast, it is far better then P3, Celeron or old sch Athlon. Same here, i jump shipped due to my mobo problem as well.

my p4 is also quite long already. p4 2.0GHz, still using sdram. just waiting for some parts to spoil..but seems that this mobo is more lasting than i have expected it to be
i feel that it's no point upgrading, since i dont really have choices to upgrade also. might as well jump to new tech when the p4 comes to its time.

my p4 3.0's windows got prolem XD,use it.upgraded once.use it for 7 years

well, i guess it still works , no?

hehe 7 years w00t club

i m still in da house, yo...

still using P4M at home 24/7, will upgrade to Windows 7 when released.

i just step out from p4 era. btw, i use even older rig. socket A athlonXP 2000+

athlon 2000+ how many mhz?

I already change to C2D last month. Found E8500 E0 OEM for RM300. Tot wanna resell it but then my bro bought the P5Q. I'm really lucky person Hehe..

non P4 related. can try post in buy thread instead.

anyway, P4 is the majority available cpu in corporate offices around the world as well with integrated intel extreme graphics. question for u guys: has your P4 mobo cmos battery been replaced before? want to see how long can the batt last. some of my office's dell P4 workstations cmos batt were dead in the recent months, need to change with a new one. Operating since 2002.

@jcsy
only 1667mhz. performed like P4 2.0GHz. its my torrent rig now. haha....

@ed
i think it depends on how often you use the pc. if never turn off the computer, then it can last for quite long time. imagine the pentium II cmos battery still alive till today.

@edmin
my p4 rig cmos battery has been there for 5-6 years or more. havent changed it before. however my friend's dell much newer than mine had his cmos battery died on him already. and i wonder why the machine has a problem of detecting drives, sometimes the optical drive appears undetected. i have another dell machine too facing the same problem. have you seen that problem before?

nope, CMOS battery alive

my past motherboard which died 1 month ago also still working
